Top Rated Rapidweaver Alternatives
Very fast and simple to use. Ideal for building simple websites you host yourself. Unlike online services (that you pay a subscription for and you have to do your hosting and domain name registration with them too) RapidWeaver provides more flexibility and independence. The websites RapidWeaver generates are 'static' with good quality markup. Modern and mobile responsive. The 'official' RapidWeaver community forums are a great resource for technical support and to get information about new / updated addons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The addons supplied with RapidWeaver are lackluster - very limited in functionality and somewhat outdated. You definitely will need to budget extra towards some better addons from third party developers, like 'Stacks' from Yourhead Software. Sometimes RapidWeaver has gone for long periods of time without receiving updates and bug fixes; often while Realmac (the parent company) has diverted interest into failed side projects, like online photo storage services, blogging, Mac apps and games.

Rapidweaver is a powerful tool for web development and designing, Easy to create professional websites with little to no coding. The app features an array of templates and plugins with a long list of features to help you make your site look exactly how you want it. Furthermore, if you want to get started from scratch or make some major changes, you can do this by editing the design of your choosing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We can not assign multi users in this tool so it is a drawback of this tool. It should be updated because one developer works on a running project and the other developer needs to wait. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Rapidweaver can be extend with 100s of addons. One of my favorite Addon is Stacks from YourHead Software, which allows to use more than 800 stacks for animation, image, button, tables, CMS and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Currently there is nothing i dislike about Rapidweaver Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Rapidweaver has an amazing support community and over 1000 available plugins/add-ons. It's easy to use and powerful for being so affordable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's a little overwhelming and difficult to find the plug-ins you want/need, so a better search tool and standardized descriptions would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best features of rapidweaver includes its ability to make web development looks easy than ever even though you arn't actually coding instead just designing like mobirise with wide range of templetes and addons with a long list of plugins and adaptive to design by choice allows to make changes from scratch to a templete or make some differential changes to the self constructed design.

I'm not too fond of the limitations of RapidWeaver to work with mac as it doesn't share compatibility with windows and the technical glitches that lead to multiple crashes and loss of cache memory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is easy and flexible to create a site when you add Stacks plugin and Foundry base of stacks that create the site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would like it to be multiuser. If you want more than 1 developer to work on the site at one
time you need to break the site up in to sections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really enjoy the canvas approach to Rapidweaver. The Stacks addon makes it very easy to use and create great websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Without addons like Stacks Rapidweaver seems very limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If you are looking for full control of your work, a secure website, and a beautiful stunning design I highly recommend RapidWeaver. Rapidweaver is all you need to create a website from simple ones to the more complicated online stores. It has been the best decision I have made 7 years back.

Really, I do not have any negative comments... Nothing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
RapidWeaver doesn't need high level web skills to make high level sites. For a novice, RapidWeaver is point and click easy. There are excellent videos on YouTube that show you how. The raw program includes many of the powerful tools you will need.
RapidWeaver is template-based which means in addition to the built-in templates (which are superb and I use myself) there are many more free or paid-for designs to fit your web design needs. In addition are Stacks, incredible and sophisticated tools that enable you to do just about anything you need in a web site.
Making sites to fit phones, tablets, laptops or larger is automatic and RapidWeaver makes them for you. It is easy to add extra bits of code or HTML as well. Then, once the site is made, it is extremely rapid to upload changes or whole websites.
Support from the active forum is second to none. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My only gripe is that Stacks isn't part of RapidWeaver but an add-on extension. My clients would also like to make changes to their web sites, but then, they only ruin them and what am I going to earn when they do? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the option to create a website without the need to touch any code, yet the power to tweak code if and when needed. While being allowed to look back at each portion of code easily...its like inspect element on steriods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is a bit of a learning curve, and the program may not be for everyone. Once you get used to the process you can much more quickly trouble shoot and create code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
